Award Notice
Summary of the contracting process

This procurement process was conducted by the NHS Cornwall and the Isles of Scilly Integrated Care Board, seeking a specialist consultant in medicine for palliative care advice for clinicians. The tender, classified under advisory services provided by nurses, falls within the services industry category and is located in the region of UKK30, Cornwall. This process followed a limited procurement method, specifically an award procedure without prior publication of a call for competition, as the contract award notice was confirmed under the Health Care Services (Provider Selection Regime) Regulations 2023. The procurement stage was noted as complete, with the contract awarded to Supportive Care (UK) Limited on 22nd August 2023, with a lifetime value of £71,280.

This contract presents potential business growth opportunities for those providing specialist advisory services in the healthcare sector, particularly for businesses focusing on palliative care advisory services. Small and medium-sized enterprises, such as Supportive Care (UK) Limited, which have expertise in providing specialised medical advice, would be well-suited to engage in similar procurement processes. The procurement signifies the importance of offering unique services with limited alternative providers, a criterion that played a crucial role in the direct award decision.
